7/2013 - EL SALVADOR - A BOEING 727

FOR THE DON BOSCO UNIVERSITY (ANS – San Salvador) –

On 29 June, the Don Bosco University of El Salvador was given a gift of a Boeing 727 by the courier service FedEx. The aircraft, fully functional, will serve as a teaching aid for students following the course for aircraft maintenance technicians. During the handing over ceremony, a FedEx representative passed over to the authorities of the Salesian institute the aircraft, which had just landed from Brazil. The Don Bosco University began a course for aircraft maintenance technicians in 2005, thanks to the collaboration given by the Salvadoran company "Aeroman", which deals with the maintenance of aircraft for several companies operating in Latin America. The course at Don Bosco University currently has 300 students and 237 graduates, many of whom are working with Aeroman. In the next academic year, in addition, the maintenance course will be transformed into an engineering course. According to the FedEx representative, this is the first aircraft the company has donated to an educational institution in Central America and also the first to be offered to a Salesian Institute. The Salesian Mission Office in New Rochelle, in the

United States, played an important role in the process of transferring ownership of the aircraft.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There’s a different pace to a summer Sunday, especial-ly on those days when we dream of air conditioning and wave any available paper to stir the air. Yet we persist in gathering, even with so many breaks from the usual rou-tines. We distance ourselves not only from routines, but from schedules and familiar well-worn paths. These are playful days and contemplative days. We see long-lost friends and visit almost-forgotten places. We have more leisure than any people before in the history of the world, and we need it because our lives are so care-worn and tiring. More of us walk barefoot and look up at the stars or dip our toes in the lake or sea, sing around campfires, read novels on the beach, and eat comfort food with our fin-gers. We see how beautiful life can be, and are more aware than usual of how God is always breaking in with signs of love. In Genesis today, Abraham and Sarah practice hospital-ity to their visitors, who turn out to be God dropping in. During the summer months, God practices hospitality in return, inviting us into a season of celebration. Keeping Sunday holy is a good habit to cultivate in these days when our spirits are especially receptive to God’s deep desire for us to know divine love. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE América es un continente nacido del mestizaje que

tomó a los europeos, los indíge-nas y los africanos para engen-drar algo nuevo. Normalmente pensamos en el mestizaje de san-gre que produjo nuevas razas latinoamericanas. Pero también existe el mestizaje cultural que produce nuevos elementos lati-noamericanos. Uno de estos es el sarape, hijo de la tilma pre-

colombina y el manto español. Este mestizaje en tela tiene sus principios en el siglo XVIII con una prolifera-ción de talleres en Zacatecas, Saltillo y otros lugares. Esta cobija colorida, de algodón o lana, fue desarrollada para añadir color y belleza a los charros de siglos pasa-dos. A través de la historia el sarape ha sido usado por vaqueros, jinetes, soldados y revolucionarios. Hoy día el sarape, jorongo, frazada, gabán o cobija se ha convertido en símbolo de tradición mexicana y se encuentra deco-rando hogares, restaurantes e iglesias. México no es el único país que ha desarrollado un mestizaje en tela, tam-bién Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador y otros más tie-nen sus telas y tapetes particulares que mezclan los colo-res y los diseños para celebrar el talento y la creatividad del mestizaje latinoamericano. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
